Good morning!

Today I visit A Blue Million Books as a stop on my Murder is Ugly blog tour. The fun thing is that my character from Murder is Ugly, Jinx Delaney, was the one interviewed. She had some interesting things to say about me! lol If you want to check it out, go to A Blue Million Books.

How important is location to your story? I explore this topic in my guest post, Location, Location, Location at Melissa’s Mochas, Mysteries and More.

Ever wondered how to create the perfect cover art for your book? It’s one of the biggest decisions you will make in regards to your work and, in my opinion, has a huge impact on sales.

Check out my guest blog at Write*A*Revolution to read about my tips and tricks. I would also like to send out a special thanks to Steve Wellings for create such a helpful site for Self-Published authors and for hosting my blog tour. Thank you Steve!

Today was my first author interview for the Murder is Ugly blog tour! Go to Morgen’s Author Interviews to read the interview. I also want to thank Morgen Bailey for hosting my blog tour. She has been so great to work with!

Murder is Ugly has just been released and is available now on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.

When Jinx Delaney accepted her friend’s, Brynn Brookefield, invitation to spend the summer with Brynn and her family she expected a relaxed, fun, horse-filled getaway that would hopefully help her find direction and get her life back on track. However, upon her arrival at the Brookefield’s exclusive community, she begins to suspect that not everything is as perfect as the members of the wealthy, picturesque neighborhood would like her to believe. Jinx finds herself embroiled in a web of suspense and deceit as a series of grisly crimes sweeps through the community, revealing dark secrets and tearing apart the residents’ seemingly perfect lives. As neighbor turns against neighbor, Jinx begins to realize that when it comes to high society, murder really is ugly.

Set against a backdrop of a historic, Old South community and a high class horse barn, McNaughton weaves a riveting tale of murder and suspense, filled to the brim with twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end, while skillfully painting the ironic tale of a community whose beauty lies only skin deep.
